Student Reportedly Shot on First Day of in-Person Learning in Arkansas

A student was shot at an Arkansas middle school early Monday on the first day that full-time classes resumed after months of coronavirus lockdown restrictions.

The incident at the Watson Chapel Junior High School in Pine Bluff forced the district into a new emergency lockdown, with one student seriously injured and a second youngster in police custody, KARK-TV reported. . .

The boy, 15, is in “very serious condition,” Pine Bluff Police Chief Kelvin Sergeant said at an afternoon briefing. . .

The alleged shooter, also 15, was found by police K-9 officers hiding behind a house nearby, the chief said.

“We don’t have a definite motive right now as to why the incident occurred,” Sergeant said. “However, we do believe this was a targeted incident as opposed to a random incident.” (Read more from “Student Reportedly Shot on First Day of in-Person Learning in Arkansas” HERE)
